BREAKING: Terrorist Arrested Inside US

Breaking News text on world map background.

(VitalNews.org) – Exposing the failures of our current immigration system and the ongoing threat of radical Islamic terrorism, an Afghan national living in Oklahoma has been arrested for plotting an ISIS-inspired terrorist attack on Election Day.

After entering the U.S. on a Special Immigrant Visa in 2021, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi now faces charges that could land him in prison for decades.

This shocking case raises serious questions about the vetting process for Afghan refugees and the Biden-Harris administration’s ability to protect American citizens.

27-year-old Tawhedi was charged with conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS and obtaining firearms and ammunition for the attack.

The plot involved liquidating family assets, resettling family members overseas and purchasing AK-47 rifles and ammunition.

The FBI’s investigation revealed that Tawhedi viewed ISIS propaganda, sent cryptocurrency to an ISIS-linked charity in Syria, searched for areas with lax gun laws and sought surveillance access in Washington, D.C.

Tawhedi’s arrest comes at a time when national security officials have warned of an elevated terrorism threat worsened by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.

The fact that Tawhedi entered the U.S. on a Special Immigrant Visa and is currently on parole status pending immigration proceedings raises serious concerns about the effectiveness of the refugee screening process.

This incident raises the question of how many more potential terrorists have slipped through the cracks due to the Biden-Harris administration’s lax immigration policies.

FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland were quick to praise the FBI’s efforts in thwarting the plot.

However, this case underscores the need for stronger vetting procedures and a more robust national security strategy to prevent such threats from materializing in the first place.

The thwarted attack serves as a wake-up call to the ongoing threats America faces from radical Islamic terrorism and the importance of maintaining a strong, vigilant national defense.
